San Diego Stupid Chargers
By Josh Board - January 7, 2009, 1:17 a.m.
No Fred, don't get excited. This has nothing to do with any stadium issues or the team moving, or any of that. It has to do with idiotic NFL players, doing idiotic things. I said once before, I couldn't believe they even have NFL games. That these guys can get ...

Anita O'Day Day
By Josh Board - January 6, 2009, 10:29 a.m.
I always complain when my friends want to go see a documentary, and then I end up loving them. This year, I was a bit disappointed with the Hunter S. Thompson documentary. And the other day I saw the one about Anita O'Day at the Ken Cinema. I guess my ...

San Diego Super Chargers
By Josh Board - January 5, 2009, 2:57 p.m.
So I'm driving back from the dry cleaners an hour ago, and I hear an AM sports station talking about the Chargers. A guy with a thick accent called in, saying that LaDanian Tomlinson is a big baby, because he's not playing. The guy went on about the college football ...

Leaving Off the Airplane
By Josh Board - January 4, 2009, 2:03 p.m.
On New Year's Day, nine Muslims were kicked off a flight from Washington to Florida. As they were boarding, they got into a conversation about where the safest place to sit on a plane was. They talked about being close to the engine if something happened, and how safe it ...

The Idiotic Charles Barkley
By Josh Board - January 3, 2009, 12:54 p.m.
I've read articles from people that complain about ex-athletes being hired to write or broadcast sports events. To me, it makes sense. Why not have a person like Dan Fouts, who is good looking, a great speaker, and knows about the sport in which he's talking? Why does it have ...

Lottery Tickets
By Josh Board - January 2, 2009, 11:19 a.m.
The guy I've been playing racquetball with for 20 years, once had an interesting idea when we were in the sauna after the game. He said that if either of us wins the lottery, we should buy a mansion that has racquetball courts in it. This way we could play ...

Current Movie Arguments
By Josh Board - December 31, 2008, 10:14 a.m.
A few of my friends argued about Benjamin Buttons. Some thought it was the greatest movie ever. The ones that had half a brain, like myself, enjoyed it. But also realized it had many flaws. I saw The Reader (it was in that category like Wedding Crashers...how could I not ...

Teachers and Bumper Stickers
By Josh Board - December 30, 2008, 2:09 a.m.
I've blogged about teachers before. It was a similar story that has popped up again on some of the cable shows, about a woman that was involved in pornography. There are complaints now of her working with kindergarten kids. When I talked with my stepbrother, whose a teacher and always ...

Benjamin Button Bazooka Blast
By Josh Board - December 29, 2008, 2:46 a.m.
Okay, well, I lied. It wasn't a bazooka. It was a .38 caliber handgun. And, hey...I might exaggerate a title to get people to log on and read the blog. But it's worse what they do on TV. In the Union-Tribune, these two stories each were two paragraphs long. That's ...

Lowlifes and Lowriders (an airplane drunk and a lowrider)
By Josh Board - December 28, 2008, 12:39 a.m.
A few things on CNN Headline News today, that got me thinking about the law. Okay, who am I kidding, I'm always thinking about it. For some reason, I'm fascinated by all the crap that goes on with our legal system. But, these were weirder, more fun stories. One had ...

Signs on the Road
By Josh Board - December 27, 2008, 1:10 a.m.
I was driving home tonight, and saw a sign coming south bound on the 163. It was a few miles before hitting Friars, and it said "caution -- right lanes prepare to stop." It was after midnight, and I assumed there'd be road work ahead. When I saw the lanes ...

Life Cycle -- Lance Armstrong Gets Woman Pregnant!
By Josh Board - December 26, 2008, 1:41 p.m.
Some fun sports things I thought about blogging on. The Lakers getting revenge against the Celts on Christmas day. It reminded me of being in high school, and watching all those Magic Johnson led Lakers teams (on a side note: that would be a great porn name, Magic Johnson)...up against ...

Weird Stories in North County
By Josh Board - December 25, 2008, 11:57 p.m.
Okay...well, the stories didn't happen in the north county. I was just at my folks having a Christmas dinner, with a fever. At one point I went into their huge bathtub and just soaked my body for an hour, trying to sweat it all out of my system. And, I ...

Commercials -- Part II
By Josh Board - December 24, 2008, 11:02 a.m.
I was talking to my mom the other day, and she did what she does fairly often. She tells me about a video she saw on America's Funniest Videos, or whatever that show is called. (on a side note...who hosts that now? it surely isn't Bob Saget still) She told ...

Burger Commercials
By Josh Board - December 23, 2008, 1:56 a.m.
I remember as a kid watching TV commercials. Remote controls were still a relatively new item, and since you had to get up to change the channel, you just watched the channel you had on. Some commercials were fun. The beer commercials were classics. So now when I see a ...

Correcting People
By Josh Board - December 22, 2008, 1:04 p.m.
I know people that are a lot worse than me at correcting people that are wrong. But, that doesn't mean what I do is right. It just means I'm not as bad as I could be. If I'm speaking with people, and they say something along the lines of "I ...

Crazy Guys Throwing Punches
By Josh Board - December 21, 2008, 8:44 p.m.
A few stories in the LA Times last week I found interesting. A former NBA player, who is now coaching Mississippi, punched a cab driver. Any guess as to what he said while he was punching the cab driver? Let's do this multiple choice: A) That's not the turn to ...

Dear Abby -- Best Friends and Talking with a Mouthful
By Josh Board - December 20, 2008, 3:02 p.m.
In Dear Abby the other day, someone wrote about their best friend from college, and how this woman now lives in another part of the country. She married a man that this letter writer doesn't like. She says, "He is cold and curt with me, and seems to be devoid ...

Lame Names in Lyrics
By Josh Board - December 19, 2008, 12:43 a.m.
I don't usually think about what I'll blog during the day. It isn't until right before I go to bed and I log onto the computer. I was coming home from racquetball tonight, and some AM station was talking about the kid that had a tumor growing in his brain. ...

Cinema Valore - Rachel's Getting Married
